Thank you, Mr. Chair. So the position serves all of the communities in the Deh Cho, but the workload is based on how many early learning childcare centres or the demand on that position, so what that might be telling us is that we need more early learning childcare centres in the Deh Cho, if I can put it that way.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. These regional allocations, of course, are based on the regions as the GNWT does and not our electoral boundary regions. Thank you.

Thank you. So there's quite a bit of communities in the Deh Cho if you look at the whole Deh Cho as Nahendeh and the Deh Cho together. For half-time position for all of those communities, it must be -- it really must be a lot of work for this part-time individual. So the question is if you were to add another position in there, hypothetically, would it be -- can the person -- well, right now because people -- everybody is centered in Fort Simpson, and I would like to have some jobs put in the communities in my riding in the Deh Cho riding, not so much the whole of the Deh Cho but is there a possibility for that to happen if should there be another position put in place? Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, as like with every department, the Department of Education, Culture and Employment also adheres to the remote work policy and if there was an opportunity to staff a position and it could be done from another place, then the department would certainly consider it.

We know that early learning is very important in -- especially in small communities because the education outcome is really poor. It's not good. It's not good compared to the larger regional centres. So I see here for 2023 to current, there's a huge jump for grants and contributions. If the Minister can explain why there's a huge increase.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, those are tied to our Canada-NWT Canada-wide early learning and childcare agreements, and both the childcare agreement that handles wage subsidy and operations costs and also the one for the infrastructure funding, and those dollars flow directly from education, culture and employment into day homes or childcare centre providers. So those are the grants and contributions that are happening as directly to the childcare providers.

I know that in the regional centre they have -- you know, like, listening to my colleagues, there's a lot of issues with early learning and childcare, especially childcare, you know. I, you know, listening to them, there's a major issue. So how much of this are being spent in the regions? Like, for example, the region I represent and there's the Deh Cho, Sahtu, and Delta, because we've all been saying that, you know, education outcome is not really that good and then early learning is really important. Is there a breakdown somewhere in the budget where how much of that money is being spent to the region? Thank you.
